(Baonghean.vn) - After 10 years of construction, by the end of 2022, the Que Phong district waste treatment project had only completed phase 1 and had not yet been put into operation so that local people could have a place to treat their waste.

The Que Phong district waste treatment project started construction in Bon village, Tien Phong commune (now Kim Son town) in 2013, with a total investment of nearly 55.5 billion VND from the provincial budget, on an area of nearly 20,000m²After 10 years of construction, the project completed phase 1 engineering at the end of 2022.

According to observations by reporters on a day in early February 2023, this waste treatment area was deserted, with no means of transporting waste. Residents living here said that although the project was completed at the end of last year, it has not yet been put into operation.

Mr. Vo Khanh Toan - Chairman of Tien Phong Commune People's Committee said that the locality is waiting every day for the district's announcement on putting into operation the centralized waste treatment site project so that the locality can have a plan to collect and transport waste there for treatment.

"For a long time, people's household waste has been treated by collecting and treating it at home. In some places, people even throw waste into rivers and streams, causing environmental pollution. Therefore, the locality hopes that the district's waste treatment project will soon be put into operation to limit the amount of waste discharged into the environment," said Mr. Vo Khanh Toan.

Theo Ban Quản lý dự án huyện Quế Phong cho biết, để đưa vào vận hành dự án, huyện đang xin ý kiến Sở Xây dựng. Sau khi đưa vào hoạt động thì đây là nơi xử lý rác thải cho khu vực thị trấn Kim Sơn và một số xã lân cận: Tiền Phong, Mường Nọc, Châu Kim…

Từ trước đến nay, huyện Quế Phong chưa có địa điểm xử lý rác thải tập trung, nên lượng rác thải sinh hoạt hàng ngày tại các địa phương không được thu gom xử lý kịp thời và đảm bảo, khiến nhiều nơi xảy ra tình trạng ô nhiễm môi trường./.
